Immortal Soul of Steel

"What? Minerva? Wow!"

In a moment of distraction, the air combat type Pulse Gundam was slashed on the shield by the beam lance of the Abyss Gundam, and the entire body was knocked away.

Luna and Lei couldn't care less about Asuka at the moment, because they both knew that there was Durandal, the Speaker, and Lux, the national idol of P.L.A.N.T., in the Minerva.

If something happens to either of them, the people in P.L.A.N.T. will go crazy. If something happens to the two of them together, things will really change.

"I'll go back soon..."

Luna replied and drove the smoking red Zaku Warrior back to support. Lei drove the silver-white Zaku Warrior to the top and stopped the Chaos Gundam.

But only Luna, the Zaku Warrior, can do very little to support her.

The raiding force directly sent back two Dagger Ls, forcing Luna's red Zaku Warriors to dodge left and right, preventing them from advancing even half a step.

The other two Windhams and Dagger L headed straight for the Minerva.

Seeing this situation, as the captain, Thalia Kuradis also calmly issued one order after another.

Missiles were fired one after another, all the Balkan artillery was deployed, and a large number of barrages were fired, making it difficult for the four aircraft of the assault force to approach.

But the pilots of the two Windhams seemed to be veterans. They very smartly chose to go around the blind spot of the Minerva's barrage and began to circle, trying to break through to the rear of the Minerva and attack the thrusters.

One attack after another hit the Minerva in the attack of 4 assault troops.

Since the two Windhams were equipped with heavy firepower, explosions of varying degrees occurred throughout the Minerva.

The entire Minerva ship shook violently.

The mothership was attacked, making Asuka, Luna, and Lei outside anxious.

Luna's eyes were filled with eagerness: "Minerva... damn it, get out of my way!"

Because her sister was also in the Minerva, watching the Minerva continue to be attacked, Luna began to rush forward desperately, and a shoulder collision directly knocked a dagger L away.

But this reckless action also gave another Dagger L an opportunity.

The beam rifle fired three times, and another shot successfully hit the head of the Zaku Warrior, directly blowing the head of Luna's Zaku Warrior.

Luna: "Wow..."

Zhen Feiniao quickly turned around: "Luna..."

The air combat type Pulse Gundam wanted to return to the rescue, but was stopped by the Abyss Gundam.

Or Nida laughed heartily: "Haha, your opponent is here!"

The air combat type Pulse Gundam was blocked and unable to return, making Shin Asuka extremely anxious.

"thunder……"

Unable to come back for help, Zhen Feiniao could only place his hope on Lei.

But at this time, Lei was too overwhelmed to take care of himself.

Although Lei's skills are good, the performance of the Zaku Warriors he drives is still far behind compared to the Chaos Gundam. Especially in terms of fire suppression, there is no comparison at all.

After the Chaos Gundam separated the two missile launch bays behind it, it turned into a wireless wire-controlled cannon similar to Mobius Zero and expanded its muzzle. When it turned into a beam cannon and fired, Lei suffered a serious blow.

The Zaku Warrior, whose own firepower was far inferior to that of the Chaos Gundam, was attacked from the left and right by two beam cannons. The shield of his left arm and right leg were soon broken, and he was severely injured.

Seeing his teammates being injured one after another, Zhen Feiniao was worried and angry.

"Get out of my way!"

"Don't even think about escaping from here, Stella, come and help!"

Under Ol Nida's call, Stella, who had been paddling before, seemed to recover a little. The beam rifle's aim is much higher.

The Gaia Gundam's support fire made it even more difficult for the air combat type Pulse Gundam to support itself.

Just at that moment, bad news came from behind again.

"M-Minerva..."

Luna's exclamation made Asuka turn his head again and saw the Minerva with thick smoke coming out of the side deck.

Such a severe injury caused the three of them to exclaim at the same time: "Yula (Meiling) (Dil)!!!"*3

However, the calls of the three people had no effect.

The three were unable to return for reinforcements, and the Minerva was constantly under attack.

Everyone on the bridge was also worried.

Thalia Kuradis asked Mei Ling: "Can't the MS troops return for reinforcements?"

Mei Ling replied with a pale face: "No, no, all three aircraft were dragged down by the enemy, and the two Zakus, Luna aircraft and Raid aircraft were all damaged to varying degrees, making it impossible to return to the rescue."

"The Pulse Gundam is dragged down by the Gaia Gundam and the Abyss Gundam and cannot leave."

boom……

There was another shaking, and Mei Ling's face turned pale again, and she panicked: "Two mobile suits are approaching the rear."

Thalia Kuradis looked shocked: "Are they planning to destroy the Minerva's thrusters? All induction missiles were launched, smoke grenades were launched, and they were detonated on the flanks."

Durandal sat behind the captain's seat. After taking a look at the battle, he took the initiative to come to Lux, who was sitting with him, and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lux, for putting you in danger."

Lux smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, isn't Speaker Durandal also in danger?"

Durandal did not reply, but simply asked: "Talia, are there no other mobile suits that can attack?"

Thalia Kuradis shook her head regretfully: "Currently, there are only three MS pilots assigned to the Minerva."

After saying that, Thalia Kuradis glanced at Lux with some doubts.

"Actually, if Freedom were here at this time, the situation might be..."

Durandal also looked at Lux in confusion: "Miss Lux, it's not that I want to blame you, but I am also very confused, where did the Freedom driven by Prince Kira go?"

In response, Lux smiled sweetly and said: "Kira has her own ideas. I don't know much about it, but I think Kira will be back soon."

Neither Durandal nor Thalia Kuradis doubted this. After all, Lux was still here. Lin Youde, Kira in their eyes and Lux's husband, would never abandon her.

But at this time, Mei Ling exclaimed: "The smoke screen was broken, and the two mobile suits have rushed to the rear of the ship..."

Thalia Kuradis' face turned livid: "Is it too late?"

Durandal narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

Only Lux closed her eyes quietly.

Then……

Boom, boom...

Two consecutive violent impacts caused the entire bridge to shake violently.

In this regard, both Durandal and Thalia Kuradis remained silent.

Only Arthur, the first mate of the Minerva, asked in panic: "Report the damage, what is the extent of the damage to the propeller?"

Meiling panicked for a moment, and then said with a look of astonishment on her face: "No, no damage, the thruster is intact."

Arthur was shocked: "What?"

Before Arthur could ask further questions, Mei Ling exclaimed again with joy on her face.

"It's Freedom! Freedom appears on the left wing of this ship!!!"

At this moment, Durandal and Thalia Kuradis looked at Lux. Lux opened her eyes with a smile and whispered.

"It looks like we've caught up..."

…

Near the asteroid belt on the left wing of the Minerva, the Freedom Gundam retracted its shoulder and waist cannons and faced the two explosions of fire.

Lin Youde breathed a long sigh of relief: "I finally caught up..."
